Almond butter

[Franci]

I used to love this almond butter from Sicily: peeled, toasted, unsalted almonds. No extra ingredients.

Fantastic.

In the States I see it's more common to find almond butter made from unpeeled almonds which I don't like. Everything I tried so far did not match my ideal butter: no skin, toasted, unsalted, just almonds, creamy.

Cannot make my own for now. Do you have a name for me?

What brand did you get in Italy? It might not be impossible to find in NYC, although it might take a bit of research/legwork (i.e. you may need to contact the company to ask if and to whom they distribute in the metro area). The only US-made ones I've seen are like those you describe, and are made from whole almonds.

Thank you Martin!

I've already tried Barney butter, the one I bought contained cane sugar, salt and palm fruit oil. My son loved it, of course. To me it has a really strange taste. I saw from their catalog that the carry also a butter made of almond and palm fruit oil, I'm guessing it 's going to be a little runnier but worth the try.

Michaela, it's called Damiano.

You can find easily in the Uk

I tried all the almond line: raw (don't like), roasted with peel it's ok. The best for me it's peeled roasted.

And love their hazelnut paste for yogurt.

Go to Fairway Supermarket.

They have an area in the store to fresh make any nut butter you want.

Palm oil is sometimes added to keep the almond oil from separating.

It sounds delicious Damiano has done food shows around the US (http://www.damianorganic.it/it/fiere.jsp), so they seem to be working on their presence there, and it might be worth e-mailing their marketing person, to ask if and where this is availalble somewhere reasonably near you (http://www.damianorganic.it/it/contatti.htm).
